!\ Mr, Wooten Desires to Sing ‘Goo
! bersville’ at State Conven
.
| tion Next Week.
l
A new contender for the flddling
ghampionship of Georgia appeared
Baturday in the entry of B. b, Woot
_en, of Smyrna, who came to Atlanta
to assure himself a place in the con
test to he held at the Auditorium on
February 28 and March 1 and 2. Fid
d‘lin' John Carson, who is acting as
hma.sler of ceremonics, assured Mr.
~ 'Wooten that the fiddling match is as
wide open as a bootjack, and he would
be given every charce at the prize.
“How about singin' a little song?”
asked Mr. Wooten.
“That depends,” returned Mr. Car
son. “There was a feller sung a song
once that had 77 verses, so fixe said.
‘We had to t{row him down and hog
tie him so we could go ahead with the
Addlin’.”
“This ain’t so long as all that,” ex
plained Mr. Wooten. “It’s a right
good song. I call it. ‘Goobersville,
and they make me sing it at every
dance I fiddle for.,” .
“We’'ll let you try a yard or so of
it,” agreed Mr. Carson. “But fiddlin’
is the main object of this here con
vention.”
It appears Saturday that fully 40
fiddlers would be on hand for the
~ Btate championship contest of the
"Old-’rime Fiddlers’ Association, in
" cluding all the more celebrated musi
.~ clans and a number of newcomers.
The convention will open Thursday
night of next week and continue
through Saturday night, with a mati
nee on Saturday. The old fiddlers
will donate a share of the receipts
from the sale of tickets to the Com
mission on Training Camp Activities,
which provides entertainment for the
#soldiers in Camp Gordon and Fort
. McPherson. The prices will be 25 and
§0 cents.

Sick Headaches
| Tells why everyone should
drink hot water with phos
phate in it before breakfast.
————————
Headache of any kind is caused by
auto-intoxication—which means self
pcisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxirs, sucked into the blood,
throvgh the lymph ducts, excite the
heart, which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller ar
terles and veins of the head, produc
ing violent, threobbing pain and dis
tress, called headache. You become
nervous, despondent, sick, feverish
and miserable, your meals sour and
almost nauseate you. Then you re
gort to acetanilide, aspirin or the
brow‘des which temporarily relieve
but'do not rid the blood of these
irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a tea
spoonrful of limestone phosphate in it,
drank before breakfast for a while,
will not only wash these poisons from
your system and cure you of head
ache, but will cleanse, purify and
freshen the entire alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. It is
inexpensive, harmless as sugar,
If you aren’t feellng your best, if
tongue i 8 coated or you wake up with
bad taste, foul breath or have colds,
indigestion, billousness, constipation,
or sour, acld stomachs, begin the
phosphated hot water cure to rid
your system of toxins and poisons.—

Rupture After Doctors Said
‘‘Operate or Death.”’
His Remedy and Book Sent Free.
Captain Collings salled the seas for

results! Finally, he was assured that
ke must either submit to a dangerous
and abhorrent operation or die. He did
neither! He cured himself instead.

The far flung tentacles of Pruss‘an
propaganda—the secret steps by which
the Kaiser and his counse ors are still at

dominion—the gigantic web of the spy
system, which has its center in the Wil
